suit that we have so long hoped for,
to- wit, the construction of this line OF

be most favorable, we have no doubt
from the manner ,ip which he express

the work will be commenced in the
early spring. and be pushed rapidly t.

Mr.. J. N. Ferguson, Constable OF the
Eighth Ward, Union Parish, YVES as
sassinated In the public road between
Farmerville and Shiloh on the even
ing of the 16th, about shutdown. His
body was found by some citizens, the
head being really shot away. The
wadding Of the gun was paper that was
used aud printed by the Gazette OF
our parish aud was lying near the
body Of the deceased. Mr.. ferguson
had been at STEMS Bluff making some
collections. He had on his person
about SIG, and this was not disturbed,
which would show that the killing was
not for the purpose of robbery. An
Investigation is being made, but there
are few circumstances which would
lead any one TO fix suspicion. No
arrest, have been made, j. STEIN.

report on the line, with view to or
ganize a syndicate for the purpose Of
building the railroad with English
capital. We are very much gratified
to be able to state authoritatively that
Mr.. Law was most favorably impressed
with the physical features of the coun-

which the railroad is projected, and
particularly with the facility aud
cheapness with which the work can be
constructed. He also expressed HIM

the supposed inventor OF the telephone,
is now at work on an invention by
which the presence Of large bodies OF
men on land and ships on the ocean
can be detected. It is an electrical ma

general, with this new contrivance in
his tent, can tell by its peculiar motion

mander of a war vessel can also tell the
approach of any vessel, hostile or other

approaching vessel causing sufficient

GAUGE the indicator to sound the alarm.
Drawbaugh refers to his latest dis
covery AS an electrical paradox The
instrument consists of what Mr.. Draw
